Once more for those in the back...

Just because the airline OFFERS the schedule doesn’t mean you should book it.

A 35-minute layover? That’s fantasy land unless every star in the universe aligns perfectly.

Let’s break it down:

You have 35 minutes between flights.
Aircraft doors close 15 minutes before departure.
That leaves you 20 minutes.
Time to get off the plane? At least 10 minutes (longer if you’re in the back or someone’s slow).

Now you’ve got 10 minutes to board your next flight. You MIGHT make it IF:

✈️Your flight lands on time.
✈️The jetbridge isn’t delayed.
✈️You’re not stuck waiting for people to disembark.
✈️Your next gate isn’t on the other side of the airport.

The reality? Booking these ridiculously short layovers sets you up for a mad dash and a missed flight. Do yourself a favor: skip the crazy layovers and save yourself the headache.
Future you will thank you!

Why won't I ever stay in a Rondoval at Sandals South Coast?

No privacy!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sandals Rondovals. In fact, I like them better than the overwater bungalows and villas...

UNLESS they are the Rondovals at Sandals South Coast.

The whole point of staying in a Rondoval is to have the ultimate in privacy. However, the Rondovals at Sandals South Coast are arranged in a heart shape, This means that when you are lying in your water lounger getting romantic with your honey no fewer than FOUR other couples could be staring straight at you.

No thanks!

These are pricey little buggers and I'm not paying a premium to be on display.

The good news is that Sandals South Coast is the ONLY resort where the Rondovals have this configuration. There are seven other resorts that feature Rondovals that offer all the privacy you would expect.

What do you think? Would you stay in a Rondoval at Sandals South Coast?

Plan now. Travel more.

Maximize your PTO days in 2025 like a pro. Let me show you how to squeeze every last drop out of your vacation time without wasting a single day."

Here’s the game plan:

✨Memorial Day: Take May 27-30 off, pair it with the weekend, and boom—9 days off for 4 PTO days (May 24-June 1).
✨Independence Day: July 4 falls on a Thursday. Take July 1-3 and July 5 off, and you’ve got 9 days off for 4 PTO days (June 29-July 7).
✨Labor Day: Take August 29 and September 3-6, and pair it with Labor Day weekend. That’s 9 days off for 4 PTO days (August 31-September 8).
✨Thanksgiving: Use November 25-27, and enjoy 9 days off for 3 PTO days (November 23-December 1).
✨Winter Holidays: Take December 23, 24, 26, and 27 off, and pair it with Christmas and New Year’s. That’s 10 days off for 4 PTO days (December 21-January 1).

This adds up to 46 vacation days using only 19 PTO days!

Start planning now, and let’s turn those bonus days into unforgettable vacations.

Shoot me a message, and let’s maximize your 2025 travel goals!

Big news: I’m officially an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor! 🎉

In a world where anyone can call themselves a “travel agent” with zero training, certifications like this matter. The VTA program isn’t a quick online course—it requires significant experience just to enroll in the program and then you must pass rigorous courses in legal insights, ethics, and industry standards.

This certification means I’m equipped to guide you through the complexities of travel planning with expertise, integrity, and the highest ethical standards.

Your vacations deserve someone who’s been there, done that, and earned the credentials—not someone who just signed up yesterday. 😉

Today, on Veterans Day, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all the brave men and women who have served our country.

I didn't grow up with military influence in my life, but as an adult, I've been incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by those who have dedicated themselves to serving others. Their commitment, sacrifice, and courage have profoundly impacted me, and I am endlessly inspired by their stories and experiences.

I especially want to honor the veterans in my own family:

My amazing husband, Bil Hardenberger
My stepson, Bryan Hardenberger
My brothers-in-law, Donald and Peter Hardenberger
My father-in-law, Del Hardenberger

Thank you for your service and for the sacrifices you've made to protect our freedom. Your dedication is an inspiration, and I am so proud to have you in my life.

To all veterans and active-duty service memberrs, thank you. Your bravery and commitment ensure that we can enjoy the liberties we hold dear.

Today and every day, we honor you.

Think you’re saving money by booking a "deal"?

Most times, cheap resorts end up costing way more than you expect—hidden fees for basic amenities, subpar service, and outdated rooms can quickly turn your “bargain” vacation into a nightmare.

If you pay just a little bit more, you get real value right from the start.

From gourmet dining and premium drinks to water sports, snorkeling, and even scuba diving and excursions, it’s all included.

Plus, the world-class service and stunning accommodations mean your only job is to sit back and enjoy your vacation.

Why risk disappointment when you can have an all-inclusive experience that truly delivers?

Skip the drama—book with the resorts that make sure you get exactly what you paid for (and more!).

How do you find affordable luxury? You ask me!

"Do I really need travel insurance?" 😳

Let me break it down for you. On my recent trip to Jamaica, I had a minor medical issue (nothing too crazy) but it still cost me $455 just for the doctor's consult and antibiotics!

Luckily, I had travel insurance, and they’ve already reimbursed me for the full amount. Without it, that little hiccup would’ve been a major headache!

No one plans to need a doctor on vacation, but things happen. Whether it’s a medical issue, delayed flight, or lost luggage, travel insurance is what keeps your trip from turning into a financial nightmare.

It’s not an extra—it’s a must. Trust me.

Not a fan of these clear glass doors for the toilet room here at Sandals Negril.

I mean, my husband and I are close but we’re not THAT close!

This means that one of us can’t use the rest of the bathroom while the other is doing their business.

What do you think of this!

Yay or nay?
